GERB and culture - this is an oxymoron. To be a Minister of Culture, you must be familiar with the basic laws in culture. A person, in his capacity as a minister, must be very well acquainted with the matter and learn every day. We remember that there was also a Nasko - I don't remember his last name, after whom there was a need for disinfection in the Ministry. Now we hear from Minister Naiden Todorov that deputies were forced upon him. He announced this to Lili Marinkova in the studio “FACTI“ and the show “Conversation“ by prof. Velislav Minekov, former acting Minister of Culture.
„Look, there is a direct dependence in the ministry and how people vote in elections. 240,000 people depend directly on the ministry. To this, if we add the various funds, programs... That's another 120-140,000 people. These people go to elections. They are quite intelligent and realize who has done what for them“, the guest added.
„I had a lot of anger with the former acting Minister of Culture Krastyo Krastev. There was quite a lot of tension between us. He organized a GERB event inside the theater in 2021, and this is prohibited by law. It was very disturbing, quite painful. Then the lawyers suggested his dismissal. Then they told me that this person was liked by the artists and that I shouldn't treat him that way. He was about to be fired. Then Kamen Donev called me and we talked for a long time at night. I can say that Kamen Donev saved him. Then, when Kamen Donev had a fight with the director of the National Theater, Krastev did not defend him, forgot him and did not give him a hand. If there is something I do not like, it is human ingratitude“, the guest also said.
